The Saddleback ski area says it has fallen short on fundraising for a new chairlift but that there may be a buyer to save the upcoming season. Owner Mark Berry said previously that the resort would close if it could not replace a 51-year-old double chairlift with a faster, modern four-person lift. The resort used Facebook to report that fundraising fell short but said there has been "significant interest" by several parties in purchasing of the resort. (AP)

British retailer Fat Face plans to move to the U.S., and says Portland is the perfect place for its first trip across the pond. Fat Face specializes in comfortable, casual clothes. That means sweaters and vests in the fall, and shorts and t-shirts in the summer. The company's website says Fat Face started in 1988 when the founders started selling sweatshirts for fellow ski bums. They looked at around 50 cities on the East Coast, and chose Portland as the perfect place to set up shop. One perhaps unusual requirement the company’s CEO says he had when selecting a U.S. city was that he wanted to make sure the city had quality, homemade ice cream. He says customers want a vacation destination that’s kid-friendly, hence the need for ice cream. The name, Fat Face, refers to a favorite ski slope in the French Alps. Opening day could be in November. (WGME)

L.L. Bean stores in Freeport are going to close for the memorial service for longtime leader Leon Gorman, grandson of the founder. Gorman died from cancer at age 80 on Thursday. The company says the Freeport stores will close for his memorial on Sunday, Sept. 13. LL Bean closing its doors for any occasion is a rare thing. The Freeport store was closed voluntarily only twice before, for the deaths of L.L. Bean and President John F. Kennedy. The stores also closed a few other times, once because of blue laws and another time for a fire.  (AP)

An exhibit going on display in Portland lets people learn about the body through a look at real human bodies, inside and out. The Body Worlds exhibit opens Friday in Portland.  The exhibit shows the details of the human body, ranging from the cross-section of a 300-pound man compared to a normal-sized man to an entire body with each major part separated and suspended to give visitors a view of muscles, bones and organs. More than 40 million people have viewed the exhibit over the past 20 years. The showing at the Portland Science Center marks the first time the exhibit has been displayed in Maine. (AP)

Three more pages apparently related to a series of “Purge of Maine” explicit photos of Maine girls appeared late Thursday on Facebook, and a person responding to questions posted to an earlier page said all the photos were posted with the consent of the girls depicted in them. Facebook pages earlier in the week containing nude or sexually explicit photos of young Maine girls sparked an outpouring of criticism on social media and launched investigations by several law enforcement agencies around the state. Photos on the pages created Thursday, by contrast, showed girls who were scantily clad but not naked. Police are still investigating and looking for the person responsible for the pages.
